This presentation will provide an overview of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the use of financial intelligence to develop and advance investigations. The agenda will cover Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) data, including the types of reports available, the industries covered, the value of BSA reports, and how they can be analyzed to counter money laundering and related illicit activity. Information about how to use and protect BSA information will also be shared. The presentation will highlight recent FinCEN analyses focused on cartel money laundering threats—including illicit finance linked to fentanyl trafficking and trends and patterns in Chinese money laundering network activity. The presentation will also include information on other FinCEN authorities and resources available to investigators, how to access them, and how to contact the Ohio State Coordinator for FinCEN information.
